Descriptive notes
The new specimens agree fully with the types from Udzungwa Scarp FR, except that traces of a light dorsal stripe flanked by darker spots are discernible, probably due to the new specimens having spent no more than 2 years in alcohol. The type specimens, which had spent 18 years in alcohol, were reported as being almost uniform light brown without lighter dorsal markings.
Distribution
Previous Eastern Arc records: Udzungwa Mts, Udzungwa Scarp FR, 750 m a.s.l. ( Enghoff 2016b).
General distribution: Udzungwa endemic.
